andypodcast3-shadowAndrew discusses similarities and differences between coaching and mentoring and shares five ideas to use the next time you have the opportunity to develop an employee’s skills:

  1. Consider the trade-off between asking and telling
  2. Question people’s premises, rather than pointing out their errors
  3. Consider the trade-off between suggesting alternatives and offering perspectives
  4. Encourage a strategic outlook
  5. Create or suggest challenges
